Letter: Give retail marijuana business same considerations as breweries

Jan. 16, 2014

In a recent edition of the Coloradoan, a headline in the business section read "Wyoming brewer to open in Old Town." As a connoisseur of micro beers, I was delighted to read of another brewer coming to town and I want to thank you for the coverage that you give these new businesses in our city.

We will soon have stores open for the sale of recreational marijuana. I hope that you will give them the coverage you have for the micro brewers. I hope also that you will not forget those people who are now making the “hard stuff.” They, too, add jobs and tax dollars to our community. So many papers report on mundane news while yours keep us readers informed about the “exciting stuff.” Keep up the good work.
